Android Oreo 8.1 developer preview is now available

Is Android Oreo getting an update so soon?
Not so long the Android 8.0 Oreo was released on the Android platform, and so soon we're expecting an update to the Oreo operating system.


Introducing the Android version 8.1 Oreo OS. Google has recently released its developer review. for now, only Android Beta Program users can test it. Meanwhile, the 8.1 Oreo is expected to roll out in December. 


The Android version 8.1 Oreo is very easy to install, though Google has made some slight changes making it different from the way we install previous versions of Android Operating Systems.
On the Android website, Google has made its Developer Preview OTA downloads page to redirect to the normal factory image page not making users to access the OTA download links.

With this change Google has made, flashing of OTAs may not be the only method of installing the Android Oreo v8.1 instead, you can choose to download and flash the full factory image if you happen to have an unlocked bootloader, or you can simply register for the Android Beta Program while you wait to get a notification about the over-the-air (OTA) update, though it won't take long to be released.

Note that the developer preview is only compatible with the Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel, Pixel XL, and Pixel C.


If you don't have any of these smartphones just like me, let's have our hands crossed while we wait for the OTA updates to be unleashed, then we shall enjoy same benefits like others. Meanwhile, if I should come across the benefits of this Android 8.1 Oreo and have confirmed them to be genuine, I won't hesitate to share them with you on this blog.

That should be all for now, I'm still finding more resourceful info from reliable sources. Thanks a lot for visiting Oshetech, please do come back.
